The conductor being brought in directly from his apartment, complete with being in his pajamas, while the audience is made to applaud and the orchestra's made to perform like everything's normal, all because Stalin wanted a recording of the performance, is indicative of the overall vibe.

[@jirkazalabak1514]

@@jmn327 With this particular scene, the reality is even more hilarious. In reality, Stalin did ask for the recording, but he did it about a week after it aired, meaning the entire thing had to be done again. They tried to get the same conductor, but he was out of town. They tried to get a replacement, but the guy they wanted was too drunk to do anything. That´s what led to this guy literally being dragged in his pajamas to the concert hall. Then there was the question of the audience. They had to remember roughly what the room had looked like to replicate the acoustics as accurately as possible, and fill the room accordingly.

I really wish I knew the reasoning behind most of these cuts. "I'd hate for them to miss the party", vs "The party's not gonna miss them, that's for sure" is such a good line. I'm GUESSING it was cut because they wanted Beria to be completely accountable for the lists, as though he was acting in his self interest. Having the list come from Stalin made him seem like an underling, I suppose.

[@hendrickziegler8487]

I think, they cut those slapsticky parts that weren't really documented well enough. Documented history is crazy enough. With the end product you can basically look up every crazy turn of events in the movie and they are true. They also cut several clips where Berya gets creepy. Presumably because the point of him beeing a creep and horrible person was already made well enough and it wasn't necessary for the main plot and also made the whole thing sadder.

[@tescheurich]

So well put ​@@hendrickziegler8487

[@KarazolaX]

​@@hendrickziegler8487 From a story-narrative standpoint, movies have to convey more then just facts. They have to convey emotion, and characterization. The first part of this film had to show us the climate of fear and the immense importance and power Stalin had. The film doesn't have much time at all to do this, since Stalin isn't in the film for all that long. But, at the same time, the movie has to tell you a lot about the other characters, so you will have an idea of what they're about before the power struggle truly begins. It does all of this fantastically. Beria is the big threat of the film, and the audience needs to understand that they're a real threat. Having him receive the list from Stalin undermines that more then you think. If the viewer saw this scene in the context of the movie, they'd likely get the impression that he was only a stoolie, and wasn't so capable of making these decisions on his own. Without Stalin signing off on the lists, it actually makes Beria seem like an even greater threat, now that Stalin isn't there to maintain the status quo. But that's not to say we aren't meant to be entertained by Beria, even if we are supposed to recognize he is a threat. If they leaned into the creepy stuff he did, his character and the movie become a lot less funny. Though I think he had kind of the scene that really summed up the theme of the movie. Seeing him beg for his life desperately, when he was the one most responsible for taking so many people out. It really highlights that beneath people who vie for power and will do anything to achieve it, they are scared and desperate to hold onto their lives, and it ultimately feeds into the culture. It's a cyclical problem that is self-sustaining.

[@507764CAT]

I think almost all the cuts are reasonable. They either severely darken the tone at inopportune times (Beria's secret rape compartment; enough was said later in the film when the girl lead from a hidden room during the "coup"), take the audience out of the film (there's no reason Malenkov shouldn't know where the minefield is), drag on too long (the steel workers scene, which is in between Vasily arriving at the funeral and him barging into the room with the diplomats), or there are simply better alternate cuts (Vasily's encouragement to the hockey team).

[@507764CAT]

@@hendrickziegler8487 To be honest, the film wasn't very true to life. The purges were 12 years prior. The film uses ongoing purges as a method of setting the mood for the film and the background culture of suspicion, deceit, and the reason clearing out the Gulags wasn't the wisest thing for the stability of the USSR. The events of Beria's removal happened over the course of about six months. The funeral massacre was made-up. The pianist wasn't a real-life person, and just existed to remind the audience that not every single Soviet citizen was a die-hard communist or atheist.

@@proceedproceed7494 Hmm. I think this is the same instance, but it has a different story. From wikipedia: "In one instance, when Stalin learned that his then-teenage daughter, Svetlana, was alone with Beria at his house, he telephoned her and told her to leave immediately." Also may interest you: "When Beria complimented Alexander Poskrebyshev's daughter on her beauty, Poskrebyshev quickly pulled her aside and instructed her, "Don't ever accept a lift from Beria".[92] After taking an interest in Kliment Voroshilov's daughter-in-law during a party at their summer dacha, Beria shadowed their car closely all the way back to the Kremlin, terrifying his wife." Wikipedia lists the source as: "Montefiore, Simon Sebag (3 June 2010). Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar. Orion. pp. chapter 45. ISBN 978-0-297-86385-4." However this is a strange source. While I do believe these events happened due to their numerous occurrences, I'm not sure about the details. One more thing on Stalin's relationship with Beria, circa early 1930s: Svetlana Stalin: "He was a magnificent specimen of the artful courtier, the embodiment of Oriental perfidy, flattery and hypocrisy who had succeed in confounding even my father, a man whom it was ordinarily difficult to deceive. A good deal that this monster did is now a blot on my father's name." At Stalin's death: After Stalin's death on 5 March 1953, Beria's ambitions sprang into full force. In the uneasy silence following the cessation of Stalin's last agonies, he was the first to dart forward to kiss his lifeless form (a move likened by Montefiore to "wrenching a dead King's ring off his finger").[51] While the rest of Stalin's inner circle (even Molotov, saved from certain liquidation) stood sobbing unashamedly over the body, Beria reportedly appeared "radiant", "regenerated" and "glistening with ill-concealed relish".

This content keeps getting removed. Thanks for putting it up.

[@goldbullet50]

This is funny. Like a weird alt-history where a bunch of British lads started a communist revolution and now cope with the outcome.

[@worldofdoom995]

Fawlty Towers but set in the Kremlin

[@Haddedam]

Manages to be more closer to documentary than pentagon wars

[@michaelarsaadyatma]

9:23 what education beria could give education on rape and torture?

[@occam7382]

Probably why they settled on Fisheries.

[@typicaluser697]

​@@occam7382 Poor fishiesh

[@flexyco]

Excellent. Thanks for this. It asks for a Director's Cut.

[@modelcitizen72]

This is even better after FINALLY watching this movie.

[@upturnedkangaroo]

The guy who played Beria is amazing

[@rebeccagibbs4128]

this movie was so so good

[@hoilst265]

2:21 - poor PC Walker, worried about his dog.

[@Athidius]

Saxon is looking for the swan

[@robkeeleycomposer]

When the deleted scenes are as good as the ones they left in, you know you’re dealing with some serious talent!

[@strongpoint71]

i had no idea how badly i wanted another 10:23 of this movie

[@andrewhawking7893]

Loved this film. It's a shame those scenes were deleted. I liked all the actors in this film but Steve Buscemi is on another level 😂

[@gilespanaceas7014]

Arrived here purely by chance and now I need to see the rest of this ... just too funny

[@nebraska124]

"you squeal any higher, you'll burst your hymen"

[@alix6145]

This is one of my favorite movies and I’d never even considered deleted scenes. What an idiot I am! Thanks for sharing, made my day. Also shout out to Stephen Kotkin to getting me very interested in Stalin to begin with

[@islamicschoolofmemestudies]

They should have left the part where breshnev threaten to mutilate beria.

[@israelasiku3975]

My favourite deleted scenes they should have left in the movie: 0:46 "...hunt my dreams as a child" 🤣 1:56 "Skates on a pig" and "...shame my father with this ice fuckery!" 🤣🤣 2:26 First time seeing Lydia's role expanded. Damn she's beautiful, but so weird 🤣🤣🤣 3:55 "...we need to think about the Presidium". Priceless facial expressions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 4:27 "...we'd be doing the same for you!" Damn see how Malenkov reacted to that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 9:28 "...shoot him!" Zhukov always funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣 10:04 "I'm this close to examining the contents of your fucking stomach". Jesus! Even Beria was shocked 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Arthur_Morgn]

Out mi fuckin way

[@Soul-rr3us]

These are hilarious. Most of them would have fit perfectly. Such a great movie. It’s hard to stop thinking about it after watching.

[@dogwiththeteeth3135]

The Beria scenes really make the treatment of him at the end by the gang really make sense. He really was a bastard.

[@maxbryk6948]

I wish most of these cuts were actually in the movie.

[@octaviusfooks7194]

Someone make an uncut version of the film

[@Absolute_Hell]

10:10 Anybody know what this background music is called? It's actually quite calming

[@jcb5782]

“The stain you left on our great Stalin’s legacy!” Spoken like a true orator while spending a Kopek😂😂😂

[@Snarflelocker]

you know it's a great film when the deleted scenes are better than the best scenes of other films

[@donothing3171]

My history PROFESSOR in my University recommended the film. If we wanted to understand the feeling and events that took place when Stalin died... great man my Professor, love that guy, and he is right. The film is more accurate than most people think

[@Black_Rabbit_84]

"You will not shame my father with this ice fuckery!"

[@strategystuff5080]

I understand why these where cuts only like 2 of them would have actually been good enough to be in. the rest hurt the pacing.

[@babybluesky9238]

god The Thick of It's formula really played well here.

[@BadgerOfTheSea]

"The Party isn't going to *bleep* miss them" is a fantastic line

[@revanchists]

I can't believe Zhukov had more medals on his chest in real life. Truth is more absurd than fiction

[@tlou2cinematicgameplay636]

Sabine really perfected the yt thumbnail face😂

[@paladinricthie5189]

I don't understand the couple and the nkvd soldier scene. Could someone explain it to me pls.

[@richp6366]

He suddenly realizes his wife is having an affair with the NKVD guy, so he is likely to be arrested in the next round up.

[@stephenfoulard3484]

So much of Beria deleted. Too dark?

[@knightsnight5929]

Most likely, he made the murderous psychopath Stalin look almost sane.

[@leetucker6016]

Such a great film

[@ballapeti]

Under-appreciated movie.

[@jrk1666]

I like how glutual beria's scream is
